You forget there is no absolute inertial system and what you describe is completely arbitrary and makes no sense.

The whole concept of a celestial body just stopping somewhere without exploding into dust is also arbitrary and makes no sense.

Of course it makes sense - a genie did it. Pay attention!

True true, my bad.

You could, but that frame of reference is not special in any way.
